CRYSTALVPENDANT FOR SHOW-STANDS, 80G.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 361,245, dated April 12, 1887. Application filed May 5, 1886. Serial No. 201,235. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern;

Be it known that I, FRED. A. WEBER, of the city, county, and State of Newl York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 5 Crystal Pendants for ShowStands, dto.; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making ro a part of this speeication.

My invention relates to ornamental stands for the display of fancy articles, and to. chandeliers and devices generally which admit of being ornamented with pendants.

15 It has for its object to provide such devices with pendulous ornaments of a form which will ad mit of being readily changed to produce a variety in color, brilliant effects, and in the case of display-stands of being made useful as 2o well as ornamental.

It consists in the combination, with the frame i of the stand or chandelier, of hollow crystal pendants, each closed by a detachable stopper and filled with a liquid of any desired color or 2 5 degree of transparency, as may be desired, producing various ornamental designs, effects, and combinations. 5 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a show-stand ornamented with 3o my hollow crystal pendants, and F-igs. 2, 8, and

' 4i illustrate various forms of said pendants.

Each pendant A consists of a vial or small glass receptacle blown into any suitable ornamental form, and provided with a mouth or 5 5 opening, B, to be closed bya cork or stopper,

longitudinally into the cork and obtain iirm hold therein,'to permit the pendant to be upheld thereby. The pendants thus constructed are suspended by the rings D D to the frame F F ofthe display-stand, or to the frame of a 45 chandelier or similar device, and being filled with liquids of various colors produce beautiful effects, either when exhibited by reliected or transmitted light.

When combined with the frame of a dis- 5o play-stand for the ornamentation of a store or salesroom, the pendants may be vlilled with perfumes or other recherche liquids, to be selected and sold from the stand in that form.

I claim as my invention- Y 1. The combination of a hollow crystal pendant, a stopper closing an opening therein, a liquid inclosed in the pendant, a ring secured to the pendant, and a frame-work to which the ring is attached in manner to allow of a 6o free oscillation of the pendant suspended thereby, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. The combination of ahollow crystal pendant, a stopper closing an opening therein, a 65 liquid inclosed in the pendant, a barbed wire or strip entering the stopper' and formed with an eye at its outer end, a ring secured loosely in said eye, and a frame to which the ring is 'loosely attached to permit of an oscillation of 7c l the pendant, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRED A. VEBER.
